Channel 4 keep on declaring that it is very serious indeed that Trump’s son met a Russian. They are so determined that Trump must go (a reasonable ambition) that the most trivial of events are drafted to the cause. As a result the stream of guff Channel 4 keeps issuing sounds and looks highly suspect.

Deliveroo and Uber, to name just two, could face decidedly higher staffing costs if the worst of socialism has its day. It might. The problem remains that HMG is desperate to rake in tax and in doing so is on the cusp of a completely ineffectual method of seeking to do so. That is because the mob is screaming for it. Reminder: the French have destroyed themselves this last forty years through silly payroll taxation – can’t we learn?
